Peaceful unspoilt bush and farm land on the Great Dividing Range. 1 hour from Canberra, 3 hours from Sydney. Turn off highway down 6.5km private gravel road, then follow short dirt tracks into campsites. Suits tents, rooftop tents and camper trailers. Not suitable for caravans or motor homes. Choice of two secluded campgrounds over 1km apart; only one private group per campground. Campfires allowed when conditions permit, free firewood supplied. No services (power, water, sewerage, rubbish collection or wifi). Peppermint Gum Group Campground is well established and suits larger groups of friends or 2-3 families (max 16 guests). Located in 1.6ha (4 acres) of grassy woodland, it offers a good choice of mown campsites in shade or sun. A large communal clearing is centrally located for group gatherings, with a rustic camp kitchen hut for all-weather cooking and eating. A pit toilet is a short walk away, with handwashing station and views! Snowgums Campsite is a smaller campsite for up to 6 people, on a low forested ridge overlooking Sandhills Creek below. 3 separate mown tent sites and a campfire clearing in protected snowgums forest. Several kilometres of marked walking trails within the property. Explore the creek line, hike up the mountain to the old stone trig point, walk to the swimming hole on the creek with jetty, picnic area and rowboat. Numerous picnic spots. A swimming dam, jetty, and picnic sites are accessible via marked walking and driving tracks. There are also several kms of walking tracks directly from the campsite along Sandhills Creek and the 'mountain paddock'. Owners live further along the road on the property, and can be contacted if needed. A separate AirBnB house is located on the property; please respect the privacy of fellow guests.

Snowgums Campsite
The Snow Gums campsite is surrounded by amazing scenery. The host, Marty, provided plenty of firewood to help keep warm during the cool evenings. It was great to chat to her and hear of the efforts to regenerate the land to its natural state. There was plenty of wildlife to be seen, with kangaroos, wallabies and deer to name a few. The weather was not the best during my stay, so it would be great to visit this site again on a sunny weekend.

Snowgums Campsite
Really nice quiet and secluded spot amongst the tress with a couple of options for setup locations. Site are maintained really well, with plenty of clear walking tracks to explore, with an abundance of wildlife about. Directions were super simple to follow, and clearly signposted. Wouldn't hesitate to come back!

Very scenic and private, exactly what we expected. We didn't find the pit toilet, though we didn't look very hard.

Two good camping clearings amongst the gum trees. Good flat grassed ground and the option to buy water by the Jerry can is great.
